Recipe & photo thanks to Nordic Ware!

Ingredients:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

- 1 cup packed brown sugar

- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon vanilla

- 2 2/3 cups flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter. Blend thoroughly.

Turn out the dough on a surface and knead until smooth. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Let the dough sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly. Roll it into golf ball-sized balls and press with cookie presses on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool on a rack. Decorate as desired or enjoy as-is.
